tbh, I don't really agree that Uluru could even come close to being the forth best region in the world to visit... After all, it is just a giant rock
in the middle of the desert.

Still though, it is a pretty amazing sight to witness... You can literally see it from nearly 100 kms away when driving there, since its just this
massive red rock in the middle of this flat land before time type of primitive desert landscape.

What I really find interesting about this article though, is the ban on climbing the rock and how this geologist has filed a claim to the human rights
commission, claiming racial discrimination... Since the Aboriginals will still be allowed to climb the rock, but us white fellas will be
prohibited.

IDK, I'm kinda torn... I didn't personally climb it when I visited, out of respect for the traditional owners... But I was going though a hardcore
hippy trip at the time.

tbh though, it did seem like a whole lot of fun to climb.

So, is it racial discrimination to deprive us poor white people from climbing the rock? Or is it just genuine social justice for the traditional
owners to deprive us white folk of the right to climb the rock?

The fact that there is even a big debate over "who can climb a rock" based on race is perfect evidence of just how insane our society has become.
Thank you for posting this.

I have the perfect solution... we can truck in tons and tons of TNT and just blow that stupid rock to bits. Then we can all be happy that there is no
rock anymore. The ghost of King Solomon told me to say that.

It's not only white people the aboriginals don't want climbing Uluru. It's a sacred site and they don't want anybody climbing it irrespective of race.
In their culture, many places are off limits or "taboo" and can only be accessed by certain people who have been initiated or some are only "mens
business" of "woman's business" and some only accessible by elders. Some places are not to be entered by anyone under any circumstances. These
traditions are countless thousands of years old.
